Maverick's POV I stood in front of my mirror in the room. Liam and Chloe stood by the door with their arms folded. I could already see the tears welling up in Chloe's eyes, but there was really nothing I could do about it. I turned to look at them, and I smiled.“You don't really have to go, you know?” Chloe begged.“I have to.” I responded gently, pulling her in for a hug. She cried in my arms, holding me very tightly. “Who knows? I might come back home safely.” I shrugged, caressing her hair. It didn't make her feel any better, rather she just cried the more in my arms. I couldn't bear to see her cry, so I pulled back from the hug. “Regardless of whatever happens, we have a plan, and we'll stick to it.” I said, holding her hand. “It might just work out fine.” “Where did this sudden optimism emanate from?” Liam asked, and I chuckled, looking at him with a shrug. “You can still run away, you know?” Chloe suggested.“Nah, that'll just make me look guilty.” I pushed the idea out
Maverick's POV It was the eve of my last day in court. The day that would determine my life from here on, and I was spending it with Chloe and Liam. Blue was nice enough not to ask for it since we had spent the past week together. Despite the fake news that rolled out everyday from several blogs and stations, we moved from gala to gala, from party to party, from my dorm to her house, and we had fun in every place possible. We sat under the night sky, somewhere in the woods, just enjoying the night air. I wasn't convinced about getting free of this. In fact, I was hoping that it'd just blow over, and they'd forget about me. Having my life under scrutiny and in danger by people who believe that I killed someone I don't even know was something I wasn't interested in facing. “Maverick.” Chloe called, and I turned my face to look at her.“Huh?” I asked, trying to enjoy what could be my last night in the world. “No matter what happens tomorrow, we'll always be here for you.” She assure
Blue's POV When I woke up, Maverick was no longer by my side. I could not see any of his belongings, so I knew he had left. I sighed, thinking deeply about how well he had gotten to me. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. I just have to save him in any way possible. I caused this whole mess, and it has somehow spiralled out of control. But how else did I expect it to play out? That he'll just be set free. I was plagued by several guilty thoughts when the door opened and Maverick walked in with a tray. I was shocked.“I thought you had left.” I groaned, sitting up as he walked towards me.“Can't leave you when I've not fed you physical food.” Maverick muttered, gently placing the tray on my lap. There was bread, tea, croissants, and butter. “There was no one downstairs, and I had the whole kitchen to myself, so I made you something to eat.” Maverick muttered. “Thank you baby.” I muttered, leaning in. He met me halfway, and we kissed. He took one croissant, and went to pack his ba
Maverick's POV The ride home was very quiet on my part. I just sat in the car, staring outside the window. It happened suddenly, but I couldn't say I was shocked. There was no way I expected them not to try anything to get me down in jail by all means. One of the other wolves was in my car and was bringing it back to the pack house. We left in numbers so no one would be able to attack us. Allison kept checking in on me through the rearview mirror, and I'd always smile every time. This was the longest drive we've had back to the pack house.Blue on the other hand was receiving calls, and kept on debunking everything they had to say about me.“C'mon, don't tell me that you're too stupid to see that that's AI, it'd break my heart.” She said to one.“Do better, you really don't think that one stab to the chest would have done that to Billy. Not even a silver knife can do that to an Alpha of his rank, and why the fuck was he just standing and watching?” When we arrived at the pack hous
Blue's POV Luca was the one blowing up my phone with calls. I could only hope that Maverick didn't see who was constantly calling me. I could already guess why Luca was calling me. Afterall, I had just told his investor friend to go to hell.“Allison, reduce the volume of the music.” I said, calling Luca. He picked up the call before it could even ring. “Blue, I've been trying to reach you.” He muttered over the phone. “Yeah. I saw that.” I said nonchalantly. “Why's that?” “I wanted to apologize about how things went the last time.” Luca said, and I frowned, definitely not expecting him to even talk about that. “Okay?”“Look, I'm really sorry.” Luca said, sighing. “I know that I've gone wrong in several ways, and I can't begin to atone for each of them one by one…” There was a short pause before he continued speaking. “But, I'll apologize for them every day of my life till my last if I have to.” He said, and I chuckled. “It's okay, Luca.” I whispered. “I didn't know that tha
Maverick's POV It was easier to see Blue's baby bump now. Her stomach grew bigger by the minute. I thought she'd use a surrogate since her duties as Alpha might be so important to her, but she shocked me. She was still in my embrace, and I kept patting her head. I had just finished with Tiffany, and the plan might just be solid, although it was all dependent on luck and chance. “Why do you think my life's in danger?” I asked calmly, disengaging from the hug. “Richard… my brother…. He's trying to get revenge.” Blue shrugged. “I thought he was headed here.” Her phone was blowing up, but she kept ending the calls. At some point, I was worried that she'd slam the phone in my face. “I'm just happy to see that you're not in danger.” She whispered, holding my arms. I scoffed at her words.“I'm always in danger. You just don't know it.” I said, holding her waist. She hugged me again, and I hugged her back. I might just be the definition of everything I never thought I'd be. I could not
